International News Verdict in Libyan AIDS Trial Is Put Off to May 6April 15, 2004 Today in Benghazi, a court that had been expected to issue a verdict in the trial of seven health-care workers charged with deliberately infecting children with HIV has instead postponed its decision until May 6. The delay occurred because one of the judges was ill. All the defendants -- five Bulgarian nurses and a doctor, and a Palestinian doctor -- have pleaded not guilty to the charges, which could carry a death sentence. The trial began in February 2000. Bulgaria and the European Union have demanded that the seven -- who have been detained for five years -- be allowed to go home.
